Communists Give Police bad
Time; Shop Windows
Are Smashed
Rowdy Elements Break out
In Riots Again in Early
Morning in Berlin .
BERLIN, Oct. 14-(Tuesday)
r (AP) Rioting by
rowdy elements in the heart
of Berlin's fashionable shop
ping district broke oat early
this morning while crowds
of curiosity seekers return
ing from theaters lingered
in the vicinity of the Pots
damerplatz to see the de
struction wrought by fascist
bands yesterday.
BERLIN, Oct. 13. CAP)
Rioting by left and right wing
enemies of the republic kept the
central part of Berlin in a tur
' moll for several hours this after
noon and overshadowed the
opening of the new Reichstag.
The disturbances started near
TJnter den Linden, within a
stone's throw of 4he parliament
building, at the edge of the Tler
garten. Here the communists
gave the mounted -and foot po
lice a bad time when the hun
dreds of guards stationed before
the Reichstag building; attempted
to sweep a vast throng away
from its entrances.
In mid-town, along the Leip
sfgerstrasse, Berlin's elite shop
ping district, several hundred
fascists took advantage of the
disorders at the Reichstag and
burst forth Into a demonstration
of which the chief nature was
the smashing of numerous win
dows in expensive shops owned
mostly by Jews and firing of pis
tols Into the air.
Few Injuries Reported
Despite Period of Gunfire
Only a few Injuries were re
ported. In spite of the heavy
gunfire and, the virtual reign of
terror that existed for some time
In that part of the city.
Early this evening the police
authorities announced order had
been completely restored In all
sections of the city and described
the events of the day as a "mere
flareup' which would not be al
lowed to go further. An official
communique said 53 persons had
been arrested.
The activities of the police ob
riously were handicapped by the
need of concentrating a strong
force around the Reichstag. It
was while almost the entire force
was fuelling the TIergarten
riots that the fascists broke

IF LIFE BE L
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 13
(AP) Lengthening human life
is of little use if the brain does not
keep pace with the body. In the
opinion of Dr. Charles H. Mayo, of
the Mayo clinic, Rochester, Minn.
Dr. Mayo made this statement
today after he had given some
brief comments before the clini
cal congress of the American Col
lege of surgeons.
"Undoubtedly," he said, "a hu
man will be able to live longer
in the next half century, but the
problem of the medical profession
is to build up the brain so that
it advances in development with
the body.
"In institutions and homes we
see scores of old peeple in their
econd childhood, possessed of a
strong body but with a brain that
is almost through functioning.
There is little use in a long life,
if. for ten or twenty years, one is
senile and helpless mentally."

Other Attempts to Weaken
Statue Rebuffed in
Day's Decisions
WASHINGTON, Oct. 13 (API
An attack on the constitution

which a violator of the Volstead
act can be sent to prison for
five years and fir.e-.l $10,000 fail
ed today hefor tha supreme
court.
The suit cam from Missouri.
Two St. Joseph regents, Hiita
McElvogue and William J. Brow s,
challenged the statute uc(Jr
which McElvogu? -a-a? sentenced
to the.penitentiary for a year ar.4
Brown four year?.
As Is customiry. the court i
refusing to pass upon the consti
tutionality of the drastic dry law
gave no explanation. The ques
tion of the coii.-UItutionality of
the Jones act was not raised,
however. In the United Stats
district court whre the cas
were first tried.
The chaUenee to the statute
was made on appeal to t''e
eighth circuit court of appi.
Those familiar with suprenje
court procedure pointed out that
in such circumstance the trib;:a
al generally decided that a ques
tion of constitutionality lias n.t
been properly presented.
Denial of the petition for re
view does not preclude the court
at some future date from passing
upon the constitutionality of the
statute.
Degress of Violation

The Jones act. passed in 1S2J,
said It was the Intent of congr.
to "discriminate between casua
